Heiligenbloem 'Primrose Gem'

The little lemon-yellow flowers showed up right on schedule in late spring, and the shrub's compact size makes it a perfect filler near my lavender. It's held its shape nicely through the summer heat, looking far tidier than my old boxwood did.

I love how the compact, rounded shape fits perfectly in my small garden bed without overpowering the other plants. The evergreen foliage stays tidy all winter, and those lemon-like flowers really pop in late spring.

The lemon button flowers popped open within a week of planting, and the shrub keeps its tidy round shape without any fuss. It’s a cheerful, low-maintenance swap for a plain hedge, and the evergreen foliage stays green through the hottest days.
